When did Fox initially injure his knee? Honestly I forgot. Shoulda been on the LTIR too. Cap space wouldve been nice. Instead we get Ros and Wennberg.

Wasn't he hurt all the way back in November? He had a lower body injury back then.

And there is his excuse!!!

But for real cracked ribs suck. Almost as much as he did before and after game 6.

 

[Atax]

Exactly. Mika’s comments are infuriating. “I don’t think we got outplayed” bro needs to read the stats.

Some people think this series was close lol

 

[haohmaru]

Not surprised.

 

[NYR94]

I want to know Kakko's thoughts.

I give him a TON of credit for playing through that in the playoffs. I've cracked a rib playing and the last thing I'd want to do is play two days later. That shit hurts every time you breathe.

Better be prepared to take the same contract because if Drury gives him top 4 D money I'll change my tune real quick @Ruggs225

" Wow, This is a nice break up day"

I want to know Kakko's thoughts.

"I want more minutes"

"Kaapo, what are you going to do to improve for next year?"

"I'm sorry, I don't speak English."

"Kaapo, why do you think your production dropped off this year?"

"I'm sorry, I don't speak English."

"Kaapo, do you speak English?"

"I'm sorry, I don't speak English."

I just grade him with the nuance I would want myself to be graded on in that position. I can at least see the logic in most of his moves. Plus idk who you are replacing him with. He is miles better of a GM than Jeff Gorton.

Really is he though? I mean a majority of this team was constructed under Gorton, including all the top players except trocheck.

He is miles ahead in drafting. That i give u.

But the rest remains to be seen as he hasnt done all that much to the core yet. Mostly around the edges.

This summer will be the test for him. If he walks it back it means he doesnt have a plan or the balls to make a big hockey change.

Thats the difference between a good gm and an avg one. Its why the knights won last year and why florida is most likely going to win this year.

Look up Toradol use in the NHL.

"Toradol is a very strong NSAID that should only be considered for the short-term relief of acute, moderately severe pain that occurs following surgery. Toradol carries a high risk of severe gastrointestinal side effects and can increase bleeding. Treatment with Toradol should not exceed five days."
Doesn't sound like the solution to a long term issue like a broken ankle bone to me...

I messed up my rib a couple months back. Never got it checked but I assume it was muscle based based on the pain and how it got better,

The pain was insane. I couldn't breathe well. Coughing and sneezing caused such extreme pain for a good 5 minutes. I couldn't sleep for the first couple nights. Mobility sucks.

Actually cracking a rib.

Not excusing him, but that sucks.

Alternatively, Lindgren with a cracked rib, Trouba with a broken Ankle and Lavi still wouldn't play Jones...

Look back at Gorton's track record and tell me Drury is worse with a straight face. Gorton's first major UFA signing was Kevin Shattenkirk. It never got much better. You dont like Drury's trades? How about McD/Miller? If Gorton didnt screw things up so bad before the rebuild, we might not have ever needed to have one. Coincidentally, he did his best to f*** up the rebuild to. Drury's reputation imo unfairly suffers from that.

His toughness has never been in question.

His game fell off a cliff this year and this is just the latest injury in a career that has been filled with them. Playing through shit is a badge of honor until it isn't.

Kreider thinks the games in the ECF were basically a toss up. "Razor thin margins". "We just need to be 5-10% better". "Work on all areas of the game".

Again - this is delusional thinking. The scores were close but the play was lopsided. You could know zero about hockey and see they were outplayed and have some glaring weaknesses to address. A leader needs to know that, seems like this core hasn't come to that conclusion yet.

You are reading too much into what they say to the media. It doesn't matter. What matters is what the organization and FO think and do moving forward.

 

[NYR94]

NGL breakup day is kinda depressing. Sucks that the season is over.
